Alice in Wonderland Reader

What is this?

Arisu. A clean, modern web application for reading Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

The Story

I loved a mobile game called SinoAlice, which features characters based on fairy tales. That game made me curious to read the original Alice story. Since the book is in the public domain, I saw a perfect opportunity: build a custom website to read the story while learning React.

What I built

• I created everything from scratch.

Tech Stack

• React
• Tailwind CSS

One cool thing I learned

I learned many things in this project, like how Single Page Applications work, implement features like instant light/dark mode, and how to handle responsiveness across different devices.

The biggest challenge was definitely the mobile layout. I made a choice to stick with pure Tailwind CSS instead of using pre-built UI components. It took a lot of trial and error, but it forced me to really understand the design side of things, specifically how to use whitespace, hierarchy, and color to make a good user experience.
